My philosophy in life is to seize the day, "Carpe Diem" and be kind doing it. We never know what someone is going through and it's always better to be kind than right. I'm an easy going individual that tries to see the good in the world. I love to meet new people and learn about new cultures and I hope to have some more unforgettable adventures along the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been skydiving in Hawaii, Bungee jumping in New Zealand. I've climbed an active volcano in Chile and was escorted down as it started to erupt once we reached the top. I've also had the chance to trek through glaciers in Argentina. One of my favorite memories though is swimming with sea turtles in the Galapagos Islands.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to have some great conversations, share stories with one another while exploring the vast world we live in.
